Simulation and static measurement of the gas volume fraction in a separated flow model using a conductance multiphase Venturi meter (CMVM) (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hasan, A., & Lucas, G. (2008, November). Simulation and static measurement of the gas volume fraction in a separated flow model using a conductance multiphase Venturi meter (CMVM). Presented at Proceedings of the Computing and Engineering Annual Researchers’ Conference, Huddersfield, UK

The assumption of equal mixture densities at the inlet and the throat of the Venturi is only valid in a homogenous flow. This assumption is no longer valid for a separated flow and therefore, the measurement of the gas volume fraction at the throat m...
